ECA ACCREDITED WORKSHOPS AND THE ADVANCED DIPLOMA OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT

By choosing to enrol for the Accredited ECA workshops, you have embarked upon a path to completion of an Advanced Diploma of International Business Management and international business success.

The ECA has partnered with the Centre of Customs and Excise Studies (CCES), Charles Sturt University, to broaden the scope and deepen the relevance of our international skills development offerings. This partnership means that each ECA Accredited workshop completed now brings you a step closer to achieving an Advanced Diploma of International Business Management from CCES.

And the Advanced Diploma of International Business Management can then lead to credit in undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs with Charles Sturt University.


How does it work?

The ECA’s workshop program is available to everyone, whether you want to expand your knowledge base in one specific area only, or eventually complete the Advanced Diploma of International Business Management.

Just want to enrol for one or more workshops, but don’t want to complete the Advanced Diploma?

Choose the Non Accredited option, register, pay the Non Accredited fee and attend the workshop on the scheduled date. No more needs be done!

Want to enrol in the Advanced Diploma?

Choose the Accredited option, register, pay the Accredited fee and once you’ve attended the workshop on the scheduled date, use that workshop as a credit towards the Advanced Diploma. Once you’re registered for the Accredited workshop, we’ll advise the CCES and they’ll be in touch to enrol you in the Advanced Diploma.

What happens if you choose the Non Accredited option and then later decide to enrol in the Advanced Diploma?

Just contact the ECA! Provided you make the decision within three months of completing the workshop, we’ll ensure you get Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) for the workshop you completed and – for a small fee – still get the relevant credit towards your Advanced Diploma.
